Cool stuff to do in Seattle
I'm really down for anything. I've been to Seattle before, but I want to make sure I have all of my bases covered, so no matter how touristy, what must I see?

Here are a few things you could do:
- Neumos : One of Seattle's best rock clubs. Go to a rock show here
- Moe Bar : then come next door here for drinks. Edgy, loud, hipster joint, young people. Stand up at the bar for stiff drinks before you go see a rock show. Loud, attached to Neumos.
- Space Needle : love this icon. 8th most photographed thing in the world - just turned 50! It's touristy - but its actually really cool. I just took my nephew after not having been there for a decade or more. Sorta spendy, but worth it! The restaurant up top has done a full 180 and is actually quite good.
- Smith Tower : observation deck is a unique view
- Bainbridge Island Ferry : a must do in seattle (only if it's sunny)
- Seattle Art Museum: The newly refurb-ed art museum is great. Getting better every year.... the remodel is substantial. Check out the sculpture park on elliott bay too - also part of SAM. Go SAM!
- Ride the Ducks of Seattle : hilarious and fun. we rented one for a birthday one year and partied like it was 1999
- Experience Music Project : music museum. Cool spot even if touristy... will be fun for the adults and kids alike.
- Seattle Public Library - Central Library : great architecture - rem koolhaas. make sure to go INSIDE. stunning
- Fremont Troll : classic weird seattle in the Fremont Neighborhood

Awesome, man, thank you! Been to a couple of these, but Neumo's and Moe Bar sound good, and the Bainbridge Island Ferry sounds fun, too. ·
-
I second Bainbridge Island Ferry, but get off at the other side and eat at Hitchcock's. ·
-
Sounds awesome. Thanks for the advice! ·

I love that place! Dollar oysters holla! ·
-
I only went for dinner but I would love to check out their other menus.... I'm hungry just thinking about that place! ·
-
FYI: their happy hour is awesome and it's fun to sit at the bar. ·
-
I've somehow never heard of this amazing sounding place, but I can certainly get behind oysters and other good food. Thanks! ·

Some other places to check out:
- Gas Works Park is an awesome place to checkout, and get some amazing views of the Seattle skyline. Plus, if you've ever seen 10 Things I Hate About You back in the 90s you'll appreciate it.
- Seattle Underground Tour . You said you didn't mind touristy--well this is it. Little did you know, and most people in Seattle don't know this, but Seattle is built on top of itself. This is a pretty sweet little tour.
- Seattle Gum Wall is a must see. Disgusting, but a classic Pike Place Market attraction.
- Pyramid Alehouse right by CenturyLink Field is a great place to grab a good beer, as well as Mac & Jack's Brewery in the Redmond area.
- Pike Brewing Company . Yeahhh another brewery. Check em' all out.
- Original Starbucks is a great spot in Pike Place Market and then follow it up with the best chowder/soup you'll ever have at Pike Place Chowder .
There are a ton of restaurants too, it just depends on what your'e looking for. Too much to list here, unless you're looking for something specific.
